Youth Exchange in Corsica

The GivEUvoice Youth Exchange took place from November 17th to 23rd in Bastia, France, bringing together young people from across Europe to strengthen their participation in democratic life. Throughout the week, participants explored Corsica’s political and civic landscape, met regional and local decision-makers, and engaged in interactive workshops designed to amplify youth voices.

Highlights of the exchange included meetings with the President of the Executive Council of Corsica, members of the Assembly, and representatives of key democratic institutions. Through open dialogue, participants gained first-hand insight into how regional governance works and how young people can influence policy. Creative labs, debates, and hands-on Erasmus+ project workshops further empowered them to transform their ideas into meaningful initiatives.

The Youth Exchange also offered opportunities for cultural exploration, from guided tours of Bastia to collaborative activities such as the Photo Hunt challenge. These experiences fostered teamwork, intercultural understanding, and strong connections among the participants.

GivEUvoice continues to support young people, especially from peripheral and remote regions, by creating spaces for learning, expression, and engagement. Through this exchange in Corsica, the project once again highlighted the power of youth participation and the importance of building an inclusive and active European community.
